PUBLIC CONCERNS RELOCATION ASSISTANCE FOR RESIDENT OF JANSVU PROPERTY Leonard Morgan, 453 S. Earlham St., Orange, spoke onbehalf of his mother, Lorene J. Asanovich. He stated that his mother had not received any relo- cation assistance from the Jansvu Corp. and he requested that no permits be given to Jansvu until assistance is given to his mother. He also re- ported that the property is not being maintained in a clean manner. Attorney Rourke stated that he had presented the Council with a written report at the last Council meeting. Following review of the tapes, agendas, and minutes of the meetings, there did not appear to be any commitment of payment of any financial relocation funds. There were statements about giv- ing tenants some free rent, not commencing construction until the poeple in the park had moved, and a number of things along this line. He said the tapes were not that audible and it is possible that there were things that were not discernable on the tapes. In the context of the parts that are discernable, he was inclined to think there were not any agreements or com- mitments made that the developers would pay monies specifically asrelocation benefits. His opinion was that we do not have any legal justification for holding up the developers' permits. Councilwoman Kennedy was in favor of holding the developer'to his reason- able promises that he would assist the tenants in relocation. COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2, 10-1-79 Councilman Sharp pointed out that if all the conditions of the Use Permit are met, we have done all that we can do. He said we are not judges. CouncilWoman Kennedy commented that we owe these tenants a thank you for making the Council aware that we do need to make veEbal promises made by a developer a definite part of every resolution and~he thought we were doing these people an injustice.
